Celebrate Chinese New Year in Las Vegas

- It is known as the Spring Festival because according to the traditional Chinese calendar, known as the lunar calendar, it marks the end of the winter and the beginning of the spring. It was made a public holiday in 1914 during China's Republican period and was reinstituted by the government of the People's Republic of China in 1949. More traditionally, visitors can take part in the festivals in villages such as Pingxi, outside Taipei, by purchasing a paper lantern, making a wish and releasing it into the air. Before the Chinese New Year comes, it is customary for people to completely clean their houses to get rid of bad fortune from the old year and decorate their tidy houses, all with an atmosphere of rejoicing and celebration.

In Guangzhou, flower fairs are popular at New Year, and all over southern China, lantern displays are common. Their lucky numbers are said to be 3, 4 and 9, and the colours green, red and purple are also supposedly favoured by fortune.

The celebrations go on for 15 days, ending on the 15th of the lunar calendar in January, which is the Lantern Festival. Chinese New Year is celebrated widely in Thailand, which has up to 10 million Chinese ethnic citizens out of its total population of 69 million.
